buzzits power project

[Bane the Zergling]

Here are some more idea's.

These are transmission tower going to the Darwin Top End of Australia they are from the largest powerstation.



Next 500kv delta towers larger then one you got now. These run out of Craigieburn a Suburb of Melbourne.  The buttoms of these guys are wider then the one you uploaded. Plus they are shorter rofl...

with all do respect.. but i'm just a hobbist modeler aye im not a pro
im modeling them my way if they are regonizable then its good enough for me.
and if you are such a perfectionist why not trying it your self? its not hard but it certainly not easy either

on top of that the pylons up front look like deviation pylons
wich are allways way thicker to carry the weight  to the side
but for some reason thats not the situation here.. pretty weird..


that is something i realised after the delta set so im working on that aswell
but not drasticly

anyways i had an early model for the one on the second picture as an additonal set for the delta one
but i didn't used it afteral..(as you can see the frame is still to thick and the struts are not properly placed.. i didn't fixed that on this model)

maybe i will work on it in the future..

but thanks for the idea's

i still have a big list of sets i will complete
first the german
then the tube pylons
then a hungarian set
than an updated version of the dutch and the french one(the straight models are allready completed for those they look way better with better wiring and better lookin models)
then a big polish set.
after that a new Dutch type
after that an english set
and after that isn't planned yet haha but untillthen it will take literly months to complete all this

I like the plan buzzit. I looking foward to using every power line series. Also, i like to note your scaling of the tubluar steel pole is perfect: the plyons come to the realistic max. of 180 ft.

This diagram proves it:

M8 I'm not putting this work on you i'm just giving idea's thats all.

You do what you want it's your work and your doing a excellent job I can't bat so.....

[metarvo]

That double-circuit tubular pylon looks a lot like one I've seen built as a narrow right-of-way replacement for the metal lattice towers I included in my release.  It is mainly used in cities in my area, as opposed to rural areas.  From what I have observed, it is used as compromise for those residents that don't want the huge lattice pylons cutting across their properties.  I've never seen a single-circuit equivalent in my region, though.

Keep up the good work, Buzzit!

@Fresh Prince: No wonder why his scaling is perfect: he based the tube pylon from the exact same diagram

yes thats absolutely true
thats the diagram i used for measurements!
and it greatly improves the outcome

[pyrointheshadows]

and here's a shot i made with all 3 the tube styles and a dragable pylon for measurements:

This is exactly what i've been wanting.       

If at all possible; either included or on a seperate project, how about interchangable of some sort between the single-circuit 500kv metal pole and a delta-configuration lattice tower?

[pyrointheshadows]

maybe i will work on it in the future..

Please do resume work on this lattice tower project - the one you released on the STEX is great but you typically see the vertical insulators on 250-330KV lines and the Triangle-shaped ones like your picture above with the 400-500kv lines. Please also release with the triangle insulators. that would be a great addition to SC4 on top of your other delta-config lattice

you gave me a nice idea

you also requested to make an change from lattice to tube pylon.
wich i can use this larger variant for!
but keep in mind this will take a hell of time to create and all.

If you need any ideas or reference, here is something i think you will find VERY useful on APS's Website (Arizona Public Service - a Power Company in Arizona, US)

http://www.aps.com/files/siting/meeting_boards.pdf - A presentation for a current project of trying to impliment a sitting for a 500kv line (with pictures of each pole type including tubular poles and lattice as well as turning structures for each type)

http://www.aps.com/aps/general_info/Siting/siting_38.html - the page that i have the above document from

http://www.aps.com/general_info/Siting/default.html - Current & Completed sitting projects - may be useful for other powerline projects u have.

thanks man! loads of usefull information!
really use full for these sets!

metarvo if your reading this you should check it out to!

anyways here's a tryout for the lattice to tube:


its a pretty awesome idea! is certainly included in this one
aswell as the single to double circuit idea

That is awesome. That is precisely what i'm looking for.

Also this may give you another-idea for merging...

Powerlines seem to be all the rage these days.....and yours look great!

[Aaron Graham]

Wow!!! keep up the good work here. I love the power lines.

[metarvo]

Oh, my, this is delicious!!    Of course, I downloaded the .pdf file as soon as I saw the link, to add to my collection of power line stuff I already have.  If I decide to build anything from this file, at least I will have an idea of where to start, and it's an interesting read to me anyway.    It was impressive to see that kind of detail about the turning poles and such.  I have used similar information provided by electric companies in my area to develop measurements and the like for my pylon set, so I admit that I have continually Googled high and low to find this kind of information for the last several years.

Needless to say, the transition from lattice to monopole is quite nice.  Keep up the good work, Buzzit!

[Buzzit]

hi all!

i wanted to say that i am occupied for the next +/- weeks due a major school project. thus i have to put a halt on the project.

my apologies!

buzzit

[MandelSoft]

No worries, mate! RL always comes first...

Best,
Maarten

do you can say when it will go on here, buzzit? I have some pics of german LV-pylons, so if you ga on I could give them to you(if you're interested)

sure if you want to post them here would be great!

im still really occupied by my school project
(have to complete atleast 3 more musicals tracks!) but after it i will have a look into it
